Chapter 348
The internal force shot out from the finger of Long Yi whistled past Wushuang and hit the black rock behind her. Suddenly, a black liquid as if water arrows rained down, drenching meditating Wushuang’s hair and face. At the same time, a hint of shadow peeled off from the black rock behind Wushuang and soon afterward, it dissipated into the air.
“Boss, what was that?” Barbarian Bull moved closer to Long Yi and asked while alertly holding Greenstone Rule.
Long Yi shook his head, then squatting down, he used his finger to touch that black liquid and smelled it. He unexpectedly smelled a faint smell of blood.
The strong energy fluctuation of Long Yi woke up both Nalan Ruyue and Wushuang from their meditation. And when Wushuang sensed that her hair and face was covered with strange black liquid, she who had mysophobia suddenly felt sick and wanted to vomit.
“Long Yi…” Wushuang got up and looked at Long Yi with some fury and doubt.
“This has nothing to do with me. I just noticed that something attached to the rock was quietly approaching you, so I attacked it. This black liquid on your body might be its blood.” Long Yi laughed hollowly and explained.
This moment, Wushaung had already recovered most of her physical strength and magic power via meditation, so she just cast an Opaque Barrier, and then she changed all of her clothes after conveniently washing herself.
After Wushuang had changed her clothing, Long Yi solemnly explained everything he saw just a moment ago, and also told them the circumstance of this narrow gorge.
“This place shouldn’t be like the Death Sea of Flowers where no matter how much we walk, we cannot find the exit, right?” Nalan Ruyue looked all around and said with some worry. Moreover, she didn’t know whether this was a figment of her imagination or not, but she was constantly feeling that this place was very strange.
“That shouldn’t be the case, don’t you all feel the air of this narrow gorge is flowing? This implies, there must be a way out on both sides.” Wushuang sensed her surroundings with fixed attention and said indifferently said.
“Correct, we can casually choose one side to go and we will surely find the way out.” Long Yi looked at Wushuang with praise and said.
After that, four people and three beasts walked towards one side of the narrow gorge for more than an hour. Suddenly, the light passing through the opening above the narrow gorge gradually faded away, the air suddenly became very gloomy and cold, and a strong wind suddenly blew up inside the narrow gorge.
“Such a dense death qi.” Long Yi was startled and he immediately instructed everyone to guard their spirit.
Now, with four people leaning their back against one another, and three god-beasts taking the lead, they slowly advance forward.
Suddenly, the furs of three god-beasts stood erect as they simultaneously made the posture of battle readiness. As for Long Yi’s group of four, they only felt a burst of coldness and strange sounds coming from all direction, but there was not even a single soul at sight around them.
Wushuang raised her hand’s Ice Blue Magic Staff, then chanting a tediously long obscure incantation, cold qi spread out as she cast World of Snow and Ice. After that, the black cliffs on both sides of this narrow gorge were rapidly covered with a thick layer of ice which continuously stretched to 100 meters in length.
A burst of thin black mist rose up from the layer of ice, and the layer of ice instantly melted and disappeared without a trace, moreover, that cold strange sounds became even more unbridled.
“Ignore these things, let them cry. We should move quickly.” Long Yi frowned and said.
Just after Long Yi finished speaking, Barbarian Bull
at his side was involuntarily drawn into the black cliff. Fortunately, Barbarian Bull’s reaction was fast enough. He brandished his Greenstone Rule with great strength behind him, then with a splashing sound, black liquid sprayed, then a hint of shadow began to dissipate as the force attracting Barbarian Bull also ceased.
“Is it specter?” Nalan Ruyue asked. She could feel dense death qi, but that didn’t appear to resemble the usual death qi of specter.
“Might be, might not be. Did you see, the magic attack seemed to be completely ineffective against these things, but on the contrary, physical attacks have great effect? From this aspect, they are unlikely to be specters as specters are completely immune against physical attacks.” Long Yi made a wry smile and said.
“Yes, but these things don’t have a physical body, how can this be explained?” Wushuang confusedly said. She also had the feeling that her Rank 10 magic World of Snow and Ice of just now was completely ineffective.
Long Yi shrugged his shoulders as he also didn’t understand what was going on.
However, now that they knew the specific properties of these unknown creatures, Long Yi and others also changed their ways to deal with them. Among four of them, only he and Barbarian Bull possessed powerful physical attack, so they faced the black cliffs placing two women between them to protect.
Throughout the way, Long Yi and Barbarian Bull killed innumerable such unknown creatures, however, as if endless, their number increased more and more.
The attacks of these creatures weren’t terrifying, and they were also vulnerable to the physical attack, but, what gave headache to Long Yi and others was, these unknown creatures could actually ignore the existence of the barriers. No matter how tough the barriers were, they strangely could easily penetrate in.
“Ruyue, use Purify Magic to see whether it has the effect or not?” Long Yi said to Nalan Ruyue. Although these unknown creatures were not afraid of magic attack, but if they belong to dark attribute, then holy light magic should have some effect on them.
Nalan Ruyue nodded her head, then raising her magic staff, a soft and white light ball rose to the sky, and radiance spread all around. Now, Nalan Ruyue appeared devout and a lustrous and transparent light was wandering about her face making her look incomparably holy and pure.
The strange voices suddenly became much smaller, and dense death qi also became much thinner. It seems these unknown creatures indeed belong to dark attribute. Merely, when the Purify Magic of Nalan Ruyue ended, these cold voices and weakened death qi also resurged.
At this time, a burst of suction force attacked Long Yi, pulling him towards the black cliff on one side. Long Yi just thought to break free, but suddenly a thought appeared in his heart and he let this suction force pull him to the black cliff. Then Long Yi’s big hand as if piercing through the void moved towards the dark cliff, and spirit power from the space between his eyes suddenly gushed out along his big hand and bound the invisible creature. Next, he put forth his strength to pull, and a hint of shadow was pulled out from inside the dark cliff by Long Yi. This creature was struggling violently and seeing its struggling didn’t have any effect, it suddenly curled up into a ball, and suddenly exploded, changing into a wisp of shadow and faded away without leaving any trace on that dark cliff.
“I might know what these creatures are.” Long Yi smiled and said.
“What?” All three of them asked simultaneously.
Long Yi smiled and with a dark qi suddenly appearing in his hand, he quickly thought an incantation, then drawing lines in the sky with both hands, a pitch-black space fissure appeared. And from inside, three ugly undead wearing silver armors came out and stood in front of Long Yi. They were different domain’s undead, Silver Armored Corpse Kings.
After the appearance of these three Silver Armored Corpse Kings, the strange sounds of before suddenly disappeared without any trace as if there were never such sounds.
“Undead summoning, husband…my husband…” The complexion of Nalan Ruyue become pale. As a matter of fact, that time in the stomach of Nine Dark Demonic Flower, she had seen Long Yi using five humanoid substances with hoods covering them to obstruct the five holes that were emitting poison mist. At that time, she had felt something was wrong, but she had always been unwilling to believe, that’s all.
Wushuang merely looked strangely at Long Yi but her expression didn’t change at all. As for Barbarian Bull, he already knew Long Yi was a dark magician too, so he naturally didn’t show any surprised expression.
Long Yi used cordial gaze to look at Nalan Ruyue and said: “You are not misjudging, your husband, I am indeed necromancer, but merely because of this, do you think I, your husband is wicked beyond redemption?”
“But…but…” Nalan Ruyue was clearly unable to accept this sudden revelation and she was at a loss and confused. As Light Church’s saintess, regarding dark as an enemy had already become a kind of instinct.
But, Long Yi however was disappointed with her reaction. At that time, in Soaring Dragon City, when Si Bi and Leng Youyou, these two saintesses of different camps met each other, they coexisted peacefully because both of them loved him. Moreover, they also accepted him for simultaneously having seven attributed magic physiques without any objection. Could it be that Nalan Ruyue was unable to accept all this?
“Forget it, we will resume our prior relation. Between you and I, other than marriage relationship, there will be nothing. If you still cannot accept this, then you can terminate your relationship with me. We can separate and never meet each other.” Long Yi softly sighed and waved his hand, then turned his back towards Nalan Ruyue.
Nalan Ruyue was startled, she felt pain as if a knife was being twisted in her heart, and her complexion became very pale without a trace of redness. Don’t leave, she only had this thought in her heart.
“No… don’t, I do not want that.” The eyes of Nalan Ruyue immediately moistened, and suddenly calling out loudly, she rushed to Long Yi and from behind, she tightly hugged Long Yi’s waist.
“I am a necromancer, what would happen if Light Church knows, you should be very clear about the consequences.” Long Yi’s knitted eyebrows loosened, but his speaking tone was still flat.
“I don’t care, I don’t care, I only know I cannot live without you.” Nalan Ruyue hugged even tighter. She feared Long Yi would truly leave her.
“Do you truly think so?” Long Yi asked as a smile appeared on his face.
“M-hm, even if I have to accompany you to the ninth floor of the hell, I will not regret.” Nalan Ruyue said.
Long Yi turned around and hugged Nalan Ruyue. Previously, he still doubted that the feelings of Nalan Ruyue for him was not that deep. He also believed that his position was still far below Light Church in her heart, but now, his heart was filled with happiness and he was greatly moved. This woman who was ready to give up even her faith for him, he vowed to use his life to treasure her.
Wushuang strangely didn’t disturb them, and her ice-cold gaze greatly softened looking at them. She had an intriguing telepathy with Long Yi, so she clearly knew his current state of mind.
After a long time, Nalan Ruyue calmed down, and realizing Barbarian Bull and Wushuang were still at their side, she blushed and immediately struggled free out of Long Yi’s bosom.
“Hugged enough? If you two have hugged enough, then quickly talk about these creatures attached to these dark cliffs. .” Wushaung indifferently said.
“Jealous? If you also want me to hug you, then I will not be stingy with my hug.” Long Yi smirked and said.
Wushuang coldly snorted and glared at him as she was too lazy to reason with him.
“My husband, tell us, what exactly are these creatures?” Nalan Ruyue pulled the sleeve of Long Yi’s garment and asked.
“Do you all think I used usual Undead Summoning Magic to summon these Silver Armored Corpse Kings?” Long Yi asked pointing at those three Silver Armored Corpse Kings that appeared incomparably doughty.
“Is it not?” Nalan Ruyue didn’t quite understand undead magic.
“Of course, not, the attacks power of undead creatures summoned using the usual Undead Summoning Magic aren’t too powerful, they merely rely on the numbers to obtain victory. But, these Silver Armored Corpse Kings are undead creatures of different space. I used long-lost Different Domain Undead Summoning Magic to summon them. And these Silver Armored Corpse Kings are merely lower class undead creatures of different space.” Long Yi slowly explained.
“Why are you taking so much unnecessary things? We didn’t ask you about these Silver Armored Corpse Kings, rather… Can it be that these creatures attached to the rocks are also the undead creatures of different space?” Wushuang suddenly thought of this possibility.
“Correct, these specters are indeed specters of the different domain, called Dark Rock Specter. They are considered comparatively higher level specters in the different space. Usually, they are attached to this kind of dark rocks and are fuse together with them. They prey others by absorbing their target inside the rock. As a matter of fact, they, in themselves, don’t fear physical attacks as well as magic attacks, but when they are attached to the dark rocks, they could be injured by physical attacks, merely, if they didn’t attach themselves with dark rocks, then they would have no means to attack as well as wouldn’t have the ability to pull in. one might well say, there is no gain without a loss.” Long Yi explained. He was not that proficient in Different Domain Undead Summoning Magic, but at that time, he had hastily skimmed through all the books of the library. If not for his good memory, he also wouldn’t have remembered that these strange creatures were unexpectedly different domain undead creature, Dark Rock Specter.
“Since Dark Rock Specter is comparatively higher leveled specter among the undead creatures of the different space, then why are they afraid of these comparatively lower leveled Silver Armored Corpse Kings?” Nalan Ruyue confusedly asked.
“All the things in this world, everything has their nemesis, the corpse kings of the different space don’t possess any magic attack but their physical attack nevertheless is very fierce, completely opposite to Dark Rock Specter, so once Silver Armored Corpse Kings appeared, they went into hiding.” Long Yi smiled and said.
Without the threat of Dark Rock Specter, Long Yi and others temporarily relaxed. They began to quickly move forward as they felt that this goddamned place was not very good.
After continuously running for more than five hours, suddenly, a burst of breeze blew over directly on their face. Long Yi instantly stopped and said with a smile: “There is the exit in the front, everyone, let’s move a bit faster.”
“How do you know that there is the exit in the front?” Nalan Ruyue asked as she could only see darkness in the front.
“Don’t you smell the taste of grass in the air?” Long Yi asked with a smile.
Nalan Ruyue took a deep breath and she indeed smelled a faint smell of grass. In this narrow gorge, other than stones, there were only stones, where were the grasses? So one could guess that there was exit not far away in the front.
